My real weakness is Nakd bars, especially the lemon meringue, but they're so chuffin' expensive. If you check out the ingredient, they are just fruit and nuts, mostly dates, I suppose 'cos they bind everything together so well. I've recently started making my own. Our local market has a guy that sells confit fruit - any variety you can think of - it's got no additives except icing sugar. I get a couple of hundred grammes in whatever combination takes my fancy, throw them in the food processor with about the same amount of organic stoned dates and a handful of organic pecans or peanuts or cashews and some toasted oatmeal. I press the paste into ice cube trays to get cubes, then either keep them in the fridge until I need them (well hidden from the family....), or make a bigger batch and freeze them. Marvellous trail snacks, or for a a great breakfast, use extra oats - costs about a quarter of Nakd bars.
